• Loosen Allen bolt at the boom of Quick
Release Adapter and aach it to Head Plate.
• Aach the head plate to the FLYCAM with
appropriate fore & a posioning and ghten
the side knobs as shown. Further ‘ne tuning’
will probably be required.
• Insert your camera setup with a quick release
plate into the quick release adapter and ght-
en with a provided lever.
• Open the lever and remove the quick release
plate from the quick release adapter. Then
aach it to your camera with the help of a
screwdriver.
Handheld Video Stabilizer Setup
• Loosen the 2x Allen bolts at the boom of the
camera plate, align the holes with the top of
the central post & reghten the Allen bolts se-
curing the head to the stalk.
• Remove the head plate by unscrewing the four
side knobs to mount the quick-release adaptor.

• Remove the Head plate from the 3-piece
head assembly before aaching it to your
camera. You will note a number of mounng
holes that can be used to adapt to various
cameras.
In case you want to avoid or skip using the quick release plate, you can aach the camera directly to the
Head Plate using the following assembly sequence:
The mulple slots on the head and boom
plates allow you to easily adjust the X & Y
axis for perfect balance. Once achieved,
ghten the knobs to secure. Further ‘ne
tuning’ will probably be required.
Head Plate X adjustment
Head Plate Y adjustment
• Align the camera center of balance to the
mid plate and secure.
• Center the Head Plate on the camera and
secure it properly. Do not over-ghten this
adjustment as it can break the threaded in-
sert.
Place the assembly in line with the center of the stabilizer stalk and ghten the side adjusters as shown.
Further ‘ne tuning’ will probably be required.

• Aach clamp onto the table, and ghten the
provided knob to secure. Then aach the
handle onto the clamp; it helps achieve Bal-
ance in just seconds and saves your profes-
sional me.
If you wish to use table clamp then please use following sequence of pictures and text.
• Aer mounng the camera onto the FLYCAM
10 put the weights according to the camera's
weight.
BALANCING REVIEW
• Proper system balance can only be accomplished once your camera has been set up with the necessary
accessories and is ready to shoot. It includes baeries, lenses, media cards, an LCD viewnder/monitor,
a fast-release plate, on-camera lighng, and all the other equipment you'll need for your recording ses-
• Remove the Flycam's top plate and posion your camera so that the center of gravity is as close to the
center of the plate as possible (basically, hold the camera in your hand unl it feels balanced le and
right, forward and back).
• Find the hole in the plate closest to your camera's threaded tripod aachment (while keeping your
camera's center of gravity to the center of the plate). Aach your camera (or quick release mount if you
have one). Tighten it up so it doesn't rotate accidentally.
• Re-aach the top plate to the Flycam. Center it, but don't worry about geng it absolutely perfect yet.
• Remove most of the weights from the Base Plaorm, but leave one on each side.
• Insert the center post as far as it will go and ghten so it won't slide out.
• Hold the handle normally and turn the Flycam so that it is horizontal to the ground. Let go of the stalk
while keeping a rm grip on the handle and count how long it takes to return to vercal again. You
should be able to count a good, "One-one thousand, two-one thousand", before it rights itself. With
only two lile weights it might take considerably longer.
• Add one pair of weights at a me and repeat the "horizontal to vercal" test unl it falls at the correct
rate. It will probably not be perfect.
• You'll get one that's too slow and then you'll add a pair and it will fall too fast. When that happens, take
o the last pair of weights that you added.
• Tighten down the weights, so they don't slide around.

(SHOWN WITH OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES)
• To get the count perfect, slightly lower the center post that aaches the Base Plaorm with the
weights unl you get the "one-one thousand, two one thousand" count to the vercal posion.
• Fine-tune the le-right, forward-backward balance. You will have to go back and forth between the
two direcons to get the balance just right. Loosen the screw sets that allow the sled to move le and
right. Adjust the top plate so that it is centered and ghten down the screws like you would a re
slowly and alternang side to side.
• Repeat for "forward-backward" balancing.
• Check to see if your camera is sing level. If not, repeat the necessary steps unl it does
• Pracce walking/movements ensuring your body moon is not transmied to your hands and then
